Title: Bright Eyes "First Day of My Life"

And so I'd thought I'd let you know that these things take forever, I especially am slow
But I realized that need you & I wondered if I could come home

I remember the time you drove all night, just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange, you said everything changed
You felt as if you just woke up, & you said "This is the first day of my life
I'm glad I didn't die before I met you but now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you
& I'd probably be happy"
So if you wanna be with me with these things there's no telling
We just have to wait and see, but I'd rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery. Besides, maybe this time is different
I mean, I really think you like me
